The Rhode Island Film & Television Office is very proud to announce that BROTHERHOOD, the critically acclaimed winner of a 2007 Peabody award, has been picked up for a third season and will continue to be shot on location in Rhode Island. The drama stars Jason Isaacs, Jason Clarke, Annabeth Gish and Fionnula Flanagan and was created by Blake Masters. It is Executive Produced by Blake Masters, Henry Bromell and Elizabeth Guber Stephen.
BROTHERHOOD marked the first Showtime series to receive exposure on a broadcast network when its' corporate sibling CBS aired the pilot in primetime, and is the first television series to be filmed entirely in the State of Rhode Island. The premium cable network has ordered eight more episodes to be shot on location in Providence and East Providence, as well as other towns and cities within the Ocean State.
" 'BROTHERHOOD' is one of our shining hours at Showtime - a drama series that is among the highest-quality shows offered anywhere on television," stated Showtime's Entertainment President Robert Greenblatt.
Steven Feinberg, Executive Director of the Rhode Island Film & Television Office, welcomes the groundbreaking series BROTHERHOOD back to the Ocean State, adding, "Historically, this is the first television series to be filmed entirely in Rhode Island. It highlights what a remarkable success can occur when city and state officials work in conjunction with the private sector to foster a healthy environment for creative talents to shine. The return of BROTHERHOOD will provide additional opportunities for our talented and dedicated local workforce. In the previous two seasons, BROTHERHOOD has employed over 300 local full-time crew members and produced more than 225 speaking roles for local actors, along with approximately 3,000 extra and walk-on roles. I would like to extend my gratitude to the Showtime executives, producers, cast and crew for making our beautiful state their location of choice."
